Most depressing thing about this (given I use gmail and haven't noticed any problems) :

As someone living in Australia and mostly using a VPN I don't really know how to parse any of that. I can intuit it, but given ISO 8601, I feel that's somewhat of a cop-out.
Kind of weird that they mention a workaround - which involves stopping and starting the service, but obviously only works if you know about the workaround. Why not apply it to everyone themselves. (via a script) or if they don't want to force the temorary disruptuon on everyone at least like create a button to try the workaround, and put it on the outage notification page... Stopping and starting it seems like something that wouldn't be that resource-intensive to apply to everyone, would it? Isn't a hack that applies the workaround to everyone better than an outage/downtime while they figure out a purer reason?
Can someone enlighten me on the use case for Gmail for business?
You're basically paying 5$ per month per user to have Google serve ads based on your companies emails, right? I would, as a company, never allow anyone such unfettered access.
Even if it was ad-free, Google would still have access to the content of your emails. That does not sound like anything I'd ever give any company.
Edit: Gmail for business doesn't show ads. But that doesn't prevent them from profiling and tracking your company activity.
